"CEX Listings: 98% Dumped, 54% Pump, 89% Dump"

Centralized exchange (CEX) listings have long been seen as a significant milestone for crypto projects, promising increased exposure, liquidity, and price surges. However, the reality often follows a predictable pattern: a sharp initial pump, followed by a more dramatic dump. A recent study by CryptoNinjas, in collaboration with Storible, analyzed the top 6 major CEXs (Binance, Bybit, Upbit, etc.) to uncover the actual impact of CEX listings on token prices, revealing just how fleeting the benefits can be.

The study found that 98% of Binance-listed tokens are eventually dumped, with the exchange having the most positive impacts on price, pumping tokens by 87% on average. On average, CEX listing pumps tokens by 54%, while 89% of CEX listed tokens are dumped.

The methodology involved gathering all tokens listed in 2024 from six major CEXs, totaling 389 tokens. The price at listing, current price (at Feb 4th, 2025), and ATH price of collected tokens were collected. The data was gathered between Feb 2nd and Feb 4th, 2025.

The initial surge upon listing is largely driven by FOMO (fear of missing out) and deep liquidity, as traders rush to buy the token before it skyrockets further. On average, newly listed tokens experience a 54% price surge upon listing. A staggering 37% of newly listed tokens hit their all-time high (ATH) at the time of listing, never reaching such valuations again.

While the initial surge creates excitement, the sell-off that follows is almost inevitable. Our findings reveal that 89% of listed tokens experience a significant price drop post-listing, with an average decline of 52% from their peak at CEX listing. This pattern suggests that many traders view CEX listings as exit opportunities rather than long-term investments.

Different exchanges have varying impacts on token performance. Our research compares six major exchanges—Binance, Coinbase, Upbit, OKX, Bithumb, and Bybit—to assess their influence on token prices.

Binance remains the most influential CEX for token listings, delivering the strongest initial pump but also the most severe dumps. Tokens listed on

CEX listing impact varies. Binance is the big dog, but Coinbase also moves the needle. Do your own research before diving in.

Bybit and Upbit lag Binance, but still risky.

Liquidity and FOMO drive those initial surges. Deep pockets rush in, then just as quickly, they're cashing out. Smart to hedge bets.

CEX listings feel like a game of FOMO musical chairs. 54% pump, then 89% dump. Gotta time those entries and exits right.

CEX listings feel like a game of musical chairs. Everyone rushes in, but most end up holding the bag.

Binance listings = pump dream, dump nightmare. 98% dumped? Might list my $TSLA stocks next for a quick flip. 🚀

@theamykupps I had TSLA once, sold too early man... kicking myself now. Could've been a solid bag, but FOMO got me on that CEX pump.

@theamykupps How long you planning to hold TSLA before flipping? Curious if you're aiming for a quick scalp or letting it sit for a bit.

Long-term hold? Not usually with CEX listings.

54% surge and then a 52% crash—FOMO is real, but maybe don't bet the farm. 🤑

Binance listings pump hard, but the dump is brutal. Timing is everything, or just get ready for whiplash.

Stashing a bit of $TSLA and some stablecoins for safety. Crypto's too wild for my portfolio right now.

If you're not ready for the dump, don't play the CEX game. 52% average drop post-listing. Long-term isn't usually the vibe here.

37% hit ATH at listing and never recover. Risky business. I'm holding long on some solid projects, not just chasing pumps.
